Patriotic Table Runner

Patriotic Table Runner

This is a very easy project you can accomplish in about an hour. I spent a good amount of time looking for supplies, I don't have a set space for my crafts, they are all around the house! So, even with that wasted time it was around an hour.

Drop cloth material was used for this project, you can also use burlap. Cut it to your table's needs. The final measurement for mine was 96" x 17", I made it that long so I can even use it when adding one extra leaf to the table.

Using a sewing machine go all around the drop cloth making a double-turn hem. Take advantage of the already hemmed sides on the drop cloth. I only hemmed two sides.

For painting the stripes, I was inspired by this PB burlap hanging flag.

Looks so beautiful, Cristina! I saw that PB flag and thought that would be something fun to make. :) Your accessories are so pretty as always as well. Enjoy this weekend...it goes from 65 to 90 in a week. So crazy!

Cristina, I love your table runner! Such an easy project, and it's perfect for those lazy days of summer. You captured the PB look perfectly. I wouldn't have thought to use sharpies, but I'm glad to know they work! Have a great day!

Came over form Monday Funday Linky Party...this is awesome. Pining it to my Fourth of July board on Pinterest. I wish I could sew, but this gives me some really good ideas and like you said, I could use the one side that is already finished and then I'd ave less to hand sew. Have a great week!Karen

I love this project! I think I need to get on this drop cloth band wagon. It seems to have so many uses! Your runner turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing the Sharpie tip too. Have a great week!Blessings,Nici
